Congestion Charge Refund Scheme

Shaun Bailey: How many NHS staff, ambulance staff and care home workers have made use of the Congestion Charge refund scheme so far?

The Mayor: I have temporarily extended the NHS staff reimbursement scheme to cover journeys made by NHS Trust staff, ambulance staff and care home employees who work within the Congestion Charge zone and are responding to the coronavirus pandemic. The member of staff may apply to their employer who will refund them directly. The employer then claims the reimbursements for all the relevant journeys directly from Transport for London (TfL).
Claims to TfL are usually submitted monthly or quarterly so comprehensive data on the use of the extended reimbursement scheme is not yet available. Since the Congestion Charge was re-instated on 18 May, claims submitted to TfL under this scheme have resulted in 854 journeys being reimbursed.

TfL Passenger Revenue

Susan Hall: Please provide the weekly figures for TfL passenger revenue for each week from 1 March 2020 to 14 June – broken down by type (Tube, bus etc), and compared with the same periods in 2019.

The Mayor: Please see the requested information in the accompanying spreadsheet. Please note in the weeks immediately after lockdown, any income received was largely offset by Travelcard refunds, which reduced overall income to near zero.

TfL - HR (4)

Shaun Bailey: How many formal staff disciplinary hearings have taken place at TfL over the last 3 years. Please provide category/reason information if available.

The Mayor: Transport for London (TfL) is able to provide the overall number of formal staff disciplinary hearings held over the last year. Unfortunately, TfL is unable to provide category / reason information for each hearing as this is not recorded centrally.
TfL confirm that 715 disciplinary hearings have been held over the last three years.
